PELHAM, N c., March 20, 1881
Although we are close here to the line
of Virginia, yet, nevertheless, we are
genuine tar heels, and glory in the
fact, and rejoice greatly in the welfare
and high stand our State has taken in
the Union, and we delight to see the
enterprise of our State press, and fore.
most in the ranks is THE WEEKLY

There has been much complaint in
this section at the low prices of tobac-
CO, but upon the whole our farmers
are As well off and happy as any other
section. Very few sales under mort
cages SO far, and not likely to be many.
We are only eight miles from Dan
vile, Va, and of course that is our
tobacco market. That fact hurts our
farmers, as that is not believed to be
now the best market-too uncertain.
We have very little crime commit
ted hereabouts as general thing, but
in the last ten days Justices Court
have been employed. Some sent to
| Jail, others bailed, and still others fined
by Justice.

Fiftieth Congress. The last three will
probably spend the next two years at
their homes, but Representative Cox
was telegraphed for by the President
yesterday, and is now doubtless en-
route to this city. It has been believed
by numbrr of we'll informed politi-
clans that both the Turkish and Aus
trian missions have been offered Gen.
Cox by Mr.. Cleveland, but that he
does not care to temporarily expatriate
himself just now 1t is also stated
that he prefers seat on the Supreme
Court Bench of the District of Colum
bia, and that one of the vacancies to
be made by the retirement of Judges
Macarthur and Carter would be much
more congenial to him than foreign
mission.
The only thing that stands in the
wayof this is thatthe Senators and mem
bers from North Carolina are com
mitted to Judge Daniel G. Fowle for
the first judicial position to be given
to that State. Judge Fowle, it will be
remembered, was strongly pressed for
the Solicitor Generalship, and natur-
ally falls heir to the next best position
of the kind that the President may
see fit to give to North Carolina.
General Cox has also been promin-
emily mentioned in connection with
one of the Interstate Commerce Com
missionships. His friends urge that
his unqualified support of the Presi-
dents civil service policy lost him the
denomination in the Congressional
Convention in his District 1t is true
that Gen. Cox made political enemies
F, in his own State by his course as
chairman of the civil service reform
committee. 1t is equally true that he
greatly enhanced his reputation in
other parts of the country. In spite
of this, General Cox has many ele-
ments of popularity, and his appoint
ment to an honorable and responsible
position would be applauded through
out his section. He led the last bril-
liant charge at Appomattox, and
bears on his body the scars of eleven
wounds. Since the war he has been
one of the most conservative Of Demo.

progressive and concillatory policy Of

From the Netg Orleans Times Democrat
On beautiful hill in the midst Of
an unbroken forest OF magnolias, bays,
beech and oaks, little less than a
century ago, the first tree was telled to
clear a site for the modest town of
Buncombe. Here, upon the land that
he had recently purchased from Spain,
Mr.. John Horton, pioneer from
Buncombe county, n. C., laid the foun-
dation for the future town Of Jackson.
In honor Of his native county he
called the place Bunccmbe, and so it
remained until Andrew Jackson, the
hero, whose plaudits were sounded from
every throat in the land, and resound-
ed from every hill top, camped in the
vicinity of the cosy little town at the
head Of his Tennessee army on their
victorious march to their homes. The
citizens of Buncombe visited en- masse
the hero OF New Orleans, and, enthused
by his presence among them, when they
returned to their town they unanimous
undetermined that henceforth the name
of the place should be jackson.

Ever since Congress adioarnri the air

doing., and ruptures of good feeling
between Washington officials One Of
these rumors, entirely without toun-
dation, was 10 the effect that Sergeant
at Arms Canaday, Of the Senate, was
found to be short in his accounts, and
that he was guilty of borrowing money
OF all his subordinates without .'eturn-
ing 1t. The truth is, Mr.. Canaday has
nothing to do with the disbursements
of money, as zone passes through his
hands, and SO has no accounts in which
to g be short SO far as the other
part of the rumor is concerned, the
affable and generous Sergeant-at

borrowing money, as he knows to his

Mr.. Boner has been proof reader in

the President to sign it. Senator
Ransom was mainly instrumental in

also lost by the failure of the deficiency
